1950s Metal Glider

1950's Metal Glider


I found this great Glider at an estate sale for $10.00. The vintage skis were given to me by a friend. It’s a little too cold for rocking, so this is the next best thing….Happy Holidays!

JunkArchitect writes: Sue, I think Georgiamoon has an incredible idea…Junk Market Calendar. You must have enough good photos on this site alone to reach the year 2050!!

I added some text to the bottom of the Glider photo and turned it into my Christmas card. Posted: 8:56 pm on December 10th

P.S. I agree with junkcollector - the snow is a great addition - kinda the "icing on the cake"! Posted: 11:39 am on December 9th

CottageElements writes: Love the metal bench! What a find. I've seen these both new and old and have been quite pricey! Can't believe you got it for $10. I'm so jealous!
